Thank you so much! Having the Pride shirts for sale is a great idea. We will definitely look into it for next year.

Food service is marginal at this place. Been there numerous times and it is never great and sometimes it is just plain poor.

Truly pampered

Pros: Large room, great bar, great snacks, great food inhouse, immaculately clean.
Cons: I only went to the bar for dinner, but would have loved a thick filet... ;)
Location: MKE airport - I was there to rest up for my flight home.
It was glorious! From the huge room, the well stocked fridge and snacks, to the restaurant (try the pretzels with the mustard), this is one of the rare times when the cost is worth it. I HATE paying 150 for a room that's... well, typical. And then you find the flaws - dirty carpet, iffy bedsheets, lack of food. Iron Horse is clean, has great staff, even has great guests (with dogs who were friendly) and the food was good too!

Really excellent hotel

Pros: The, um, "decorative" textured panels at about shoulder height in the shower
Location: Near to Summerfest, near to Conejitos
My friend and I were in town to attend a punk show and I decided to splurge on a really great place to stay close to the venue. Two punks are not exactly the target demographic of the Iron Horse, but we were never made to feel out of place by staff (other guests and restaurant patrons gave us strange looks but apparently decided we were IN the band). Everything was immaculate and luxurious, everyone was fantastically friendly, and we left feeling refreshed and extremely satisfied. A+ for inclusive, non-judgemental treatment of all guests.
